Windows 10: How do I change the volume of the Text to Speech in Windows 10

Hey y'all, I've been trying to set the volume of my Text to Speech and I cannot find a separate adjustment for it.

Speech volume

I have the same problem with my new 1520. Didn't have this problem with my HTC 8X, in same car. The phone's volume setting does not seem to matter, but I have not tried changing it during text-to-speech playback as someone suggested. Should that work it

How do you change the text to speech voice in a (Windows) vbscript?

Hey guys,

I'm trying to create a text to speech vbscript. The problem I'm having is that I can only select between 3 voices. I have 8 available in Windows 10.

Here is my code:

Code: set voice = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice") set voice.Voice = voice.GetVoices.Item(1) voice.Rate = 1 voice.Volume = 90 voice.Speak TextMessage[/quote] I get a vbs error message when I choose a number greater than 2 for the voice.GetVoices.Item(1) parameter.

Error: 0x80045039
Code: 80045039
Source: (null)

Any suggestions?

TIA,
